Description and Applications
M/A-COM's MA4AGP907 is an Aluminum Gallium
Arsenide Flip-Chip PIN diode. These devices are
fabricated on OMCVD epitaxial wafers using a
process designed for high device uniformity and
extremely low parasitics. The diodes exhibit an
extremely low RC Product, ( 0.1 ps ) and 2 nS
switching characteristics. The useable frequency
range is 100 MHz to 40 GHz.
They are fully passivated with silicon nitride and
have an additional layer of a polymer for scratch
protection. The protective coatings prevent damage
to the junction and the anode airbridge during handling.
The 25 fF capacitance of the MA4AGP907 is
useable for mmwave switch and switched phase
shifter applications. This diode is designed for use in
pulsed or CW applications, where single digit nS
switching speed is required. For surface mount
assembly, the low capacitance of the MA4AGP907
makes it ideal for use in microwave multithrow
switch assemblies, where the series capacitance of
each “off” port adversely loads the input and affects
VSWR.
